Montelukast reduces grey matter abnormalities and functional deficits in a mouse model of inflammation-induced encephalopathy of prematurity (2022)
Journal Article
Yates, A., Kislitsyna, E., Alfonso Martin, C., Zhang, J., Sewell, A., Goikolea-Vives, A., …Stolp, H. (in press). Montelukast reduces grey matter abnormalities and functional deficits in a mouse model of inflammation-induced encephalopathy of prematurity. Journal of Neuroinflammation, https://doi.org/10.1186/s12974-022-02625-5

Encephalopathy of prematurity (EoP) affects approximately 30% of infants born <32 weeks gestation and is highly associated with inflammation in the foetus. Here we evaluated the efficacy of Montelukast, a cysteinyl leukotriene receptor antagonist wid...

A functional eEF2K-eEF2 pathway in the NAc is critical for the expression of cocaine-induced psychomotor sensitisation and conditioned place preference (2022)
Journal Article
Beiser, T., Lisniansky, E., Weitz, M., Bingor, A., Grad, E., Rosenblum, K., …Yaka, R. (2022). A functional eEF2K-eEF2 pathway in the NAc is critical for the expression of cocaine-induced psychomotor sensitisation and conditioned place preference. Translational Psychiatry, 12, Article 460. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41398-022-02232-1

Recent evidence links synaptic plasticity and mRNA translation, via the eukaryotic elongation factor 2 kinase (eEF2K) and its only known substrate, eEF2. However, the involvement of the eEF2 pathway in cocaine-induced neuroadaptations and cocaine-ind...

Induction of Mitochondrial Fragmentation and Mitophagy after Neonatal Hypoxia–Ischemia (2022)
Journal Article
Nair, S., Leverin, A., Rocha-Ferreira, E., Sobotka, K., Thornton, C., Mallard, C., & Hagberg, H. (2022). Induction of Mitochondrial Fragmentation and Mitophagy after Neonatal Hypoxia–Ischemia. Cells, https://doi.org/10.3390/cells11071193

Abstract: Hypoxia–ischemia (HI) leads to immature brain injury mediated by mitochondrial stress.
If damaged mitochondria cannot be repaired, mitochondrial permeabilization ensues, leading to cell
death. Non-optimal turnover of mitochondria is criti... Read More about Induction of Mitochondrial Fragmentation and Mitophagy after Neonatal Hypoxia–Ischemia.

Mitochondrial Dynamics in the Neonatal Brain -a potential target following injury? (2022)
Journal Article
Jones, A., & Thornton, C. (2022). Mitochondrial Dynamics in the Neonatal Brain -a potential target following injury?. Bioscience Reports, https://doi.org/10.1042/BSR20211696

The impact of birth asphyxia and its sequelae, hypoxic-ischaemic brain injury, is long lasting and significant, both for the infant and for their family. Treatment options are limited to therapeutic hypothermia, which is not universally successful an... Read More about Mitochondrial Dynamics in the Neonatal Brain -a potential target following injury?.
